Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832
State of North Carolina on this 28 th day of February Moore County 3 a d 1834 personally appeared in open court before Henry Seawell one of the judges of the Superior Court of Law and Equity for the County and State afo d James Gaines now in sition James Gaines saw a resident of said County in said State aged about seventy two years who being first duly sworn according to Law doth on his oath make the following Declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Con- gress passed June 7 th 1832
That he was born in the County of Culpeper in the State of Virginia, in January 1762. That he has in his possession no record of his age, but that one was made and kept by his father who is now dead. That he en- tered the service of the United States when he was not six- teen years of age in the County of Culpeper & State of Virginia afo d under the following circumstances. That in the year 1777 his father Henry Gaines with whom the appli- cant lived was drafted as a militia man for the term of three months under one Captain Rucker who was a Captain in Culpeper County in Va. and it being in- convenient for his father to leave his family and con- cerns at that time, the applicant became a substitute and entered the service in his father's stead as a private in the company of Captain Rucker, at Culpeper Co. House Patridge Col. James Pendleton's regiment and from thence marched on towards the north passing through the Towns  Counties of York and Lancaster, towards Philadel- phia and after crossing the Schuylkill joined Genl Wash- ington's Army. Philadelphia was at the time in poss- ession of the British for which reason the American Ar- my could not enter it. The Main American Army remained during a short time in the neighborhood of Philadelphia, while a detachment thereof was sent down the Schuylkill, to attack some Hessians who were on the Delaware one of which detach- ment the applicant was. He states that while on this

Service his term of three months for which he had entered the service, expired and he received a written discharge from his Captain and returned home. He states that he has lost the discharge above mentioned, having from his eye that it was of no attached value to him.
This applicant further states that after he had returned from the town of Luray aforesaid, he remained at home some time, how long he can not say when he again entered the service of the United States as a substitute for one John Reddifer, who, was drafted in Culpeper City in Va. under one Captain John Waugh for a term of three months. This was in the year that Thomas Jefferson was Governor of Virginia and was obliged to remove. The public documents & papers from Richmond up to Albemarle County, where he then resided, after Captain Waugh had assembled his company, one of which, as a private. This unit was. They marched from Culpeper Court House which was called Fairfax and was shortly attached to Genl. Mendenhall's Brigade, the name of the Col. not recollecting. He recollects that his company was under the command of one Major M c Clintock. Mendenhall's Army then marched on by Fredericksburg, passed down and crossed James River at Sandy Point and went by Cabin Point to Petersburg. The American army entered Petersburg and was soon followed by the British Army who came in shortly after them. An engagement ensued between the two armies and the Americans were obliged to retreat across the River over the bridge, which was broken down after they had passed it in order to prevent the British from pursuing & cutting off their rear - From thence the Americans marched towards Richmond until they came to certain woods, the name or owners not recollecting, where they remained for a few days and after that when the main body of the Army left marched off. They left a Picket Guard stationed at the Mills who were afterwards cut off by the British or at least not of forward hearing of the American Army, then marched to and across the James River and was soon after

wards joined by a body of Regular troops now believed to be under the command of Genl. Wayne. This affiant states that shortly after this time he was again discharged the term for which he had entered the service having expired. His company left the army low which they were attached. (Shot far from Richmond and returned home. This affiant states that he again received a written discharge which he took no care of and consequently was lost. This affiant states the third and last time he entered the service of the United States was in the year 1781 about the close of the war. He then lived as before in the County of Culpeper in the state of Va and was drafted to serve a three month tour under Captain William Tiptott as a private. They were marched on to York where Cornwallis was besieged by Genl. Washington and was detached of Infantry Company one of whom this affiant was stationed at Bricks (Sunday) to defend the American arms am- munition &c. It at was landed at that place that after the surrender of Cornwallis at York this affiant & his company under Captain Tiptott was marched joined the army who conducted the British Prisoners to Bar- racks at Winchester. When his term of service shortly afterwards expired and he was again discharged & sent home. This affiant believes that he again received a written discharge and that it is above stated. He states that although it is now out of his power to give a more particular account of his services yet he will affirm that he served three tours of three months each under the above named officers for which he claims a pension. He further states that there are no persons alive as he knows of by whom he can prove his services except John Hunt who can testify as to part of them and whom affidavit is here with transmitted. He thinks however that the said Hunt must be mistaken in saying that he served a tour of four months as he himself believes that none of his tours of service exceeded three months and under this impression he claims a pension for only three

months of each town. Making nine in all - He states that some of his elder brothers were in service with him the last town he served and that they have gone to the west long since and he does not know whether they are still alive - His opinion for the state, that after the war was over, he remained in Virginia until he came into North Carolina which was more than forty years ago, that he settled in the County of Chatham in said state; he afterwards lived in Wake County in the same state - and again remained in Chatham where he resided until about twenty two years ago, when came to Moore County where he now resides - He states that there is no regularly ordained minister of the gospel in his neighborhood who can prove his reputation as a soldier of the revolution but that he is known to some of his neighbors, Cornelius Shulds, Daniel McNeill and others in his present neighborhood, who can testify as to his character for veracity and their belief of his service as a soldier of the Revolution.
He hereby relinquishes any claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the Pension Role of the agency of any state.

Reference is made to your telephone request of this date for the record of James Gaines, a soldier of the Revolution.
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, V. 25652, that James Gaines (referred to as senior) was the son of Henry and was born in January, 1762, in Culpeper County, Virginia.
While a resident of that county he enlisted and served as private with the Virginia troops as follows: from August, 1777, three months in Captain Rucker's company in Colonel James Pendleton's regiment, as substitute for his father, Henry Gaines; early in 1781, three months in Captain John Waugh's company under Major Welch; later in 1781, three months in Captain William Triplett's company and was discharged shortly after the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.
He was allowed pension on his application executed February 28, 1834, at which time he was a resident of Moore County, North Carolina. In that year he stated that he had moved from Virginia to Chatham County, North Carolina, more than forty years ago, that he afterwards lived in Wake County, North Carolina, then moved back to Chatham County and lived there until about 1812 when he moved to Moore County, North Carolina.
He died December 4, 1854, in Montgomery County, North Carolina.

The soldier married in 1844 in Chatham County, North Carolina, Cary or Cavy Kidd.
On account of the Revolutionary War service of James Gaines, his widow, Cary or Cavy, was allowed pension on her application executed April 28, 1855, at which time she was seventy-four years of age and was living in Chatham County, North Carolina.
